"Your idea that atheists think the world just "is" would be completely accurate if the world was filled with nothing but rocks and sea sponges.
This is a common religious argument, the idea that without some spiritual side to the…"

"I agree that Kony's 'theology' is a mishmash, BUT: While African Christianity does tend to incorporate local spiritual customs, but this does not make them something other than Christians. After all, that's how we got the…"

" Oh, I beg to differ. There IS someone who has been pointing out that Kony claims to be a Christian - Rush Limbaugh. Rush, in fact, praised Kony for his aggressive brand of Christianity. He also angrily condemned the…"

"I have no problem labeling monsters like Robertson, Roberts, Falwell, Baker, Palin and Santorum with the moniker of Christianity, they epitomize the fraudulence and ignorance of the cult.
But a madman like this can throw the word Christianity around…"

"@Stephen What are you saying? Are you saying that Christianity bears some responsibility for Kony? The way I look at it is that if some avowed atheist was the head of his organization, I wouldn't accept any blame for it given that I…"

"Kevin, I think it is funny that they are conveniently NOT mentioning any affiliation. I have thought about blasting it on FB, cuz frankly, I tired of hearing about. However, I know the exact argument they will come back at me with. "Don't…"

That time of year is fast approaching when people begin to celebrate their various holidays. And, this year as usual, the Christian supremacists are whining as loud as they possibly can.This year I’m friends with an older man on Facebook; he puts up a status saying, and I quote:“I DO NOT CARE IF THIS DOES OFFEND SOMEONE…THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE…I AM SICK AND TIRED OF EVERY YEAR WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES AROUND; THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TAKE CHRIST OUT OF CHRISTMAS BECAUSE IT MIGHT OFFEND…See More

"Even if that turns out to be true, it doesn't validate this video. The fact of the matter is, the claim was made that according to "witnesses" (I can't put enough quotation marks around that) it was above Moscow for…"
